Join the Hilltopper Family

Can you see yourself making a positive impact at WKU? We offer an inviting and challenging work environment, responsive to the needs of a diverse and ambitious learning community. See our open faculty and staff positions. Employment Website.

Parent/Guest TOP at Western Kentucky University is a companion orientation designed
to meet the needs of new Hilltopper family members. Whether your student is the first to go to college in your family
or are a proud alumnus of WKU, participating in Parent/Guest TOP will provide plenty
of information and new connections to campus. It is a great opportunity to attend
sessions about campus resources and meet faculty and staff that will become your student’s
partner in their educational career at WKU. Through information sessions and our
Question and Answer Panel, you will learn: what it means to be a Hilltopper, how students can succeed on The Hill, the details of navigating through the financial
aid process, housing requirements, and about other offices on campus.

Although Parent/Guest TOP is not required, family support is an important factor in
student success at WKU. Reservations to attend TOP as a parent or guest should be
made by the student when registering for orientation on TopNet.
